photo on page 4). Wipe the dipstick clean with a cloth and dip it back into  
the oil reservoir (do not screw it back in).  
• Pull the dipstick out and read the oil level. Oil level should fall within the diamond pattern (Fig. 1).  
• If oil level reaches the ADD point (Fig. 1), add oil. Use enough multi-weight SAE 15/40 lubricating oil to keep the level  
between between FULL and ADD. IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill.  
• Replace the dipstick and tighten firmly by hand.  
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL  
• Change the engine oil after the first 200 miles (320 kilometers), and every 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) or six (6)  
months, whichever comes first.  
• Locate the drain plug found under the crank case (refer to photo on page 4).  
• Place an oil pan under the drain plug. Use a wrench to unscrew the plug and allow the oil to drain out. Replace the plug  
and tighten firmly using the wrench. DO NOT overtighten.  
• Unscrew the dipstick (Fig. 1), found on the right side of the scooter (see photo on page 4).  
• Use a funnel to pour 0.8 qt. (0.75 liter) multi-weight SAE 15/40 lubricating oil into the engine oil reservoir.

Routine Care and Maintenance, continued  
BATTERY MAINTENANCE  
• The battery is sealed and does not require electrolyte replacement.  
• To help preserve the life of the battery, use the kick starter method to start your scooter for short trips (see page 9).  
• The battery charge is maintained with current from the alternator.  
• Batteries discharge during long periods of storage. When storing your scooter for periods longer than 2-4 weeks, maintain  
the battery by using a low amperage battery maintenance charger designed specifically for motorcycle and scooter batteries.

INSPECTING THE BATTERY TERMINALS  
ALWAYS turn the scooter off and remove the key before inspecting  
Positive  
Terminal  
Negative  
Terminal  
the battery.  
Fuse  
Box  
• Periodically check the battery for leakage or corrosion. Using a Phillips  
screwdriver, remove the screws from the battery door in the floor board.  
Set aside the hardware. Open the battery door.  
• Visually inspect the battery, its cables and terminals for damage.  
• If you see corrosion on the battery terminals, they will need to  
be cleaned.  
NEVER pick up the battery by its cables or connectors.  
• Pull the terminal covers back to expose both battery terminals. Using a  
Phillips screwdriver or wrench, disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery terminal first, then disconnect the  
positive (red) cable from the battery terminal (Fig 1). When removing the cables from the battery, make sure they do not  
come in contact with each other.  
• Lift the battery up and out of the compartment. Handle the battery carefully.  
• Gently clean the posts with a wire brush.  
• Wipe the posts clean with a damp cloth (a dry cloth may cause static electricity).  
• Lower the battery into the compartment.  
• Reconnect the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal. Reconnect the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal.  
When re-connecting the cables to the battery, make sure they do not come in contact with each other.  
• Replace the terminal covers.  
• Replace the battery door, and secure it with the screws.  
REPLACING THE BATTERY  
• The scooter battery will need to be replaced if:  
- The battery has completely discharged.  
- The battery has leaked.  
- The battery casing is cracked or damaged.  
• Contact your dealer to purchase a new battery. Use of an unauthorized battery will void the warranty.  
• Follow the instructions above for accessing and removing the battery.  
• Lower the new battery into the compartment.  
• Reconnect the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal. Reconnect the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal.  
• Replace the battery door, and secure it with the screws.  
BATTERY DISPOSAL  
NEVER throw the battery away in the trash or burn it in a fire. In most areas, it is illegal to  
burn lead acid batteries or put them in a landfill.  
• Take the exhausted battery to an approved lead acid battery recycle center, such as an  
auto parts store or battery retailer.  
• Call your waste collection service to find out if they offer disposal of lead acid batteries.  
Do not dispose of the battery or battery acid in any unapproved place. Follow your state  
guidelines for proper disposal procedure.

Routine Care and Maintenance, continued  
REPLACING THE FUSE  
• If the electrical system is not working properly, a fuse may have blown.  
1
Fuse Case  
• Turn the ignition OFF  
.
• Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws from the battery door found in  
the floor board. Set aside the hardware. Open the battery door.  
• Locate and open the fuse case. You will see two fuses, one is in use, and the other  
is a spare.  
• Inspect the fuse for broken wires.  
• If you find a blown fuse, remove it. Insert a new fuse, making sure it fits snugly  
into the socket. A loose connection will cause electrical problems, and possibly  
overheat the fuse contacts.  
ALWAYS replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. DO NOT replace it with a fuse of higher  
amperage rating. Extensive damage to the electrical system could occur.  
• Close the fuse case and place the fuse and battery cables completely inside the battery compartment. Make sure the  
terminal covers are in place. Replace the battery door and secure it with the screws.  
If the new fuse blows out immediately, contact your dealer for repairs.  
CLEANING OR REPLACING THE AIR FILTER  
Check the air filter after 600 miles (960 kilometers); then again every 2,500  
2
miles (4,000 kilometers) or 6 months.  
The air filter may become clogged with dirt and dust, causing a decrease in  
engine power. Keep the air filter clean for optimal scooter performance.  
NOTE: If you live in a coastal or arid area or drive on dirt or gravel roads, you  
may need to clean or replace the air filter more frequently.  
• Look on the left side of the scooter and locate the air filter cover. Using a  
Phillips screwdriver, remove the filter cover screws (Fig. 2) and set aside.  
• Remove the cover (Fig. 3) to expose the air filter. Gently remove the air filter;  
be careful not to tear it.  
• Shake the air filter vigorously to remove dust and debris. NEVER use water to  
clean the air filter.
